The Randwick Local Planning Panel is an Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel that assesses development applications and provides advice on planning proposals.

Please note there is no Public Meeting on Thursday, 29 April 2024.

Changes to Local Planning Panels

The NSW Government is making changes to the way Local Planning Panels work to make them more efficient and to improve the assessment and determination times of development applications.

These changes are being made as part of the Planning Acceleration Program to support the state’s immediate and long-term economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.

The changes, commenced from 1 August 2020, will speed up panel determinations by:

• reducing the need to conduct public panel meetings for non-contentious matters by applying a ‘10-or-more’ objection trigger for public meetings
• reducing the amount of modifications going to panels
• obliging panel chairs to more actively manage development applications (DAs) coming to the panels to reduce panel deferrals and assessment timeframes
• allowing chairs to bring forward determination on DAs that are experiencing unreasonable delays of over 180 days from lodgement
• introducing panel performance measures.

Further details about the changes and Frequently Asked Questions are available in this information sheet.

Audio recordings

The Panel is required to make an audio record of the public meeting and make the recording publicly available on Council’s website. You should be aware that this may include your personal information if you are presenting to the Panel.

RLPP agenda

The RLPP agendas, minutes and meeting audios are available on Council’s business papers and minutes page.
